Want to cut your NetSuite support costs in half while actually improving system performance? Our research reveals companies are saving 59-73% with remote developers while unlocking more value from their existing NetSuite investment. 

These aren't just paper savings – they deliver real business impact within months.

The real work of getting value from NetSuite starts after implementation. Your system needs ongoing support, customization, and optimization, but traditional staffing approaches can be prohibitively expensive. 

When developers leave, the knowledge they've built walks out the door with them, creating a costly cycle of rehiring and retraining.

The Post-Implementation Support Challenge

‍

‍

Many businesses face a difficult situation after NetSuite implementation: they need ongoing technical support but can't justify the high cost of US or Australian-based developers.

According to our recent research:

• NetSuite Technical Consultants in markets like San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston typically cost between $13,000 and $18,700 monthly.
• NetSuite Technical Support Engineers in cities like Austin, Denver, and Phoenix command between $9,000 and $14,000 per month.

These costs put businesses in a tough spot. You need technical expertise to maximize your NetSuite investment, but the expense can significantly limit what you're able to do with your system. 

And when urgent projects arise, waiting weeks or months to find qualified talent only compounds the problem.

Six Ways Remote NetSuite Developers Deliver Quick Returns

‍

‍

Remote NetSuite developers don't just save you money on paper. They deliver tangible value in multiple ways that become evident within months. 

Let's look at the six most impactful ways they pay for themselves by directly addressing common post-implementation challenges.
‍

1. Dramatic cost savings (59-73% monthly)

The most immediate benefit of working with remote NetSuite developers is straightforward cost savings. Our research shows:

• Remote NetSuite Technical Consultants typically cost between $4,000 and $7,000 monthly - a fraction of US rates.
• For Technical Support Engineers, remote talent costs between $2,400 and $4,000 monthly compared to $9,000-$14,000 in the US.

Real numbers: For a typical mid-sized business needing just one Technical Consultant, this translates to savings between $54,000 and $70,000 in the first six months alone. These aren't theoretical numbers. They're based on actual salary data from our global research.
‍

2. Making your current system work better

After the initial implementation, most NetSuite systems have room for improvement. Remote NetSuite developers can help you fine-tune your existing setup to better match your actual business processes.

A skilled developer can optimize reports, dashboards, and workflows to give you clearer insights and smoother operations. 

In a typical scenario, dashboard optimizations could save a finance team 15 hours weekly in report generation and data consolidation, potentially translating to roughly $3,900 monthly in recovered productivity.
‍

3. Custom scripts that cut down manual work

One of the biggest opportunities after implementation is automating manual processes. Many businesses settle for manual workarounds because they don't have the technical resources to create proper automation.

Remote NetSuite developers with SuiteScript expertise can build custom scripts that eliminate tedious tasks. 

For instance, a script could automatically generate and email customized packing slips based on order type. In a distribution business, this type of automation could potentially save 25 hours weekly across a shipping department, a value of over $5,200 monthly in labor costs.
‍

4. Connecting NetSuite with your other business systems

As your business evolves, you'll likely need NetSuite to talk to other systems - your CRM, e-commerce platform, shipping software, or industry-specific applications. These connections often aren't part of the initial implementation but become essential as your needs grow.

Remote developers with integration experience can build these connections for a fraction of the cost of US-based talent. Based on industry averages, a NetSuite-to-Shopify integration might cost approximately $7,000 with a remote developer, compared to $18,000-$25,000 typically quoted by US agencies.
‍

5. Better support at lower costs

Ongoing support needs don't disappear after implementation. Issues arise, questions need answering, and small changes are constantly required. Traditional support contracts can be expensive and impersonal, especially when knowledge keeps walking out the door with departing staff.

The Atticus advantage:
Remote developers offer a more cost-effective alternative. Rather than paying premium hourly rates for standardized support, companies can work with dedicated remote talent who truly understand their specific setup.

• Industry case studies suggest support cost reductions of 60-70% are achievable when switching to qualified remote support providers.
• Our 91% staff retention rate means your NetSuite knowledge stays with your support team rather than walking out the door, saving you $15,000+ in typical turnover costs.
  ‍

6. Expert help when you need it without hiring full-time

Your NetSuite needs may fluctuate throughout the year. You might need intensive support during:

• Financial close periods
• Sales promotions or seasonal spikes
• When adding new business units
• System upgrades

But these demands aren't constant.

Flexibility that delivers:
Remote developers give you flexible access to expertise without committing to full-time salaries. 

In a typical scenario, businesses can save $50,000-$60,000 annually by working with remote developers on an as-needed basis instead of hiring a full-time US-based resource who would be underutilized during slower periods.

Fast response when you need it:
When you work with us, you can get these vetted specialists in as little as 72 hours, allowing your critical projects to move forward immediately rather than stalling while you search for talent.

More Than Just Money: Other Benefits

‍

‍

While cost savings are compelling, remote NetSuite developers offer additional advantages:

• Follow-the-sun support: With developers in different time zones, you can often get support outside traditional business hours without paying premium rates.
• Specialized expertise: Our team is fluent in multiple ERP systems including NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, and Oracle, giving you access to cross-platform knowledge that can solve complex problems other providers can't diagnose.
• Documentation focus: Remote teams typically build stronger documentation practices, creating long-term value for your organization.
• Stability and continuity: With our 91% staff retention rate, your NetSuite knowledge stays with your team rather than constantly being rebuilt with new hires.
  ‍

Getting Started Without Risk

If you're considering remote NetSuite developer support, here are practical steps to ensure success:

1. Start with a well-defined project. Begin with a specific optimization need rather than general support.
2. Look for verifiable experience. Request examples of similar work and technical certifications. Seek providers with expertise across multiple ERP systems for comprehensive problem-solving capabilities.
3. Establish clear communication channels. Set expectations for response times and regular check-ins.
4. Create thorough documentation. Ensure knowledge transfer through proper documentation practices.
5. Ask about team stability. Work with providers who maintain high retention rates to avoid knowledge loss and retraining costs.

Many of our clients begin with a single improvement project before expanding to ongoing support relationships. 

With our ability to provide vetted specialists within 72 hours, you can quickly test this approach and see results without lengthy procurement delays. This minimizes risk while still capturing significant cost benefits.
‍

The Bottom Line

Remote NetSuite developers offer a compelling value proposition:

• 59-73% cost savings compared to US/Australian hiring.
• Specialized expertise that can significantly improve your system's performance.
• Quick returns through both hard dollar savings and productivity gains.

When you add the benefits of our multi-ERP expertise, 91% staff retention rate, and 72-hour specialist placement, the value becomes even more apparent.

The ability to get more from your NetSuite investment without breaking your budget means you can finally tackle those optimization projects that have been sitting on the back burner.
